condition sometimes, and there are facts
which We cannot go behind. In illustra-
non further of facts which settle the points
OF prompt and permanent cure, the fol-
lowing cases are cited: In 1854 Mrs. Mary
h. Sheed suffered terribly with chronic
neuralgia. She writes from lilo Maryland
Avenue, Washington, ID. c. In the first in
stance she states: II suffered terribly with
neuralgia in the face; very severe attack
extending to back and shoulders; suffered
intensely. Tried ST. Jacobs Oil; had parts
well rubbed at night; in the morning all
pain gone, ma-icaily." June 10, 1887, she
writes from pa Eleventh Street, s. W., as
follows: -Four years ago / sent you vol
untary certificate setting forth the fact that
/ had been a great sufferer with neuralgia in
my face, neck and shoulders. l obtained a
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil, and after three ap-
pications | was entirely relieved from all
pain, and from that time to the present |
have never had a return. The effect was
miraculous" Again, Feb. 6, 1851, Mr.. r.
G. Troll, St. Louis, Mo, writes: in March,
1881, suffered terribly with neuralgia; had
suffered nearly three years. Applied ST.
Jacobs Oil at S15 A. NJ; at $40 took the
rag Off; at 8 A. NJ. went to work. In less
than five minutes after that the pain was
gone. The one application cured me. Have
not had return Of it stree" Mr.. f. w.
Spanglcr, York, Pa, June II, 1857, writes:
Wears ago had neuralgia; am not subject TO
II now. The cure by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil was permanent. There has been no re-
currence of the painful atfliction." Chas.
W. Law, Jr., Pottstown, Pa, April 10, 1857,
writes: "Was troubled for years with neu-
ralgia in neck and head. Tried st. Jacobs
Oil; had tried different kinds of remedies
without effect. One bottle ofthe former did the
business. No return of pain and aches" In
almost every instance the reports are the same

An Ingenious Jerseyman.

a patent has ben recently granted to o
Sersey City inventor for q novel process OF
manufacturing continuous tin plates. Tho
plates IN question are made OF steel, and
the process consists in producing sheet oi
steel OF any continuous length and Of re-
quired width by first rolling the metal hot
ind afterward rolling it cold until proper
thickness and perfectly smooth surface is
obtained. Next the surface OF the sheet ia
secured, then it is aiterward passed
khrough q bath OF melten tin, thus receiv-
ing it's coating. Finally the sheet is sub
1eeted TO rolling operation under heavy
pressure between highly polished rolls, by
which the tin and steel are condensed and
consolidated together and the surface
hardened and polished. The inventor
states that by this method the tin will be
hound to be so hardened upon and incor.
porated with the steel as to produce q tin
plate which is superior in most respects to
shy tin plate wherever produced.
